- 🐇🤖Are you looking for some fun and creative STEAM and robotics lesson ideas for primary school students? Do you want to inspire them to explore science, technology, engineering, art and math through hands-on projects? If so, this video is for you!
In this video, I will show you how to build a simple cardboard robot with nuts and bolts and BBC Micro:Bit electronics using only scissors and screwdriver. This robot is a two-legged rabbit (or any other critter you choose ;-). You can customize it with your own design and colors. It’s a great way to introduce your students to the basics of robotics and coding.

You can control this robot with my bluetooth app.

Hi, your designs are so creative, and give me so many ideas for how to use the Micro:Bit, I have just started playing with them with students at school. All your resources are so well created and easy to follow. I really appreciate how much work you are sharing out with the wider community. I hope you're having a great week!
Hey Shaun! Great to hear that you find it useful with your students! That is my goal :-) Thanks for all the kind words. It would be great to hear some feedback from your classes.
I like this one a lot and will try with my club. they have been asking for a robot that walks and this looks fun. wondering if there is a way to make this more humanoid by making the legs longer? Also, any tips on the servo motors ...many times they don't turn or work even though everything seems to be connected correctly. thank you so much ...these videos are very helpful!
Hey Aarthi. If you make the legs longer it will probably fall onto its face or back. As for servos, most of them run on 5V signal an MicroBit supplies 3,3V. You have to find micro servos that are compatible 3,3V. In my experience most of 180deg servos run on 3,3V but only some of 360deg work with 3,3V, dont know why.
Also, another type of walker robot (dog alike) is next in line for publishing, probably tomorrow
@@CARDBOARD_ROBOTS Thank you! Super helpful! I am looking into purchasing the extension boards since they will make it easier. Right now, we are using alligator wires to connect the servos to the robots.
@Aarthi Muthukrishnan If you built anything with your students it would be great to see some photos. You can contact me at robotsofcardboard@gmail.com. Any critical feedback appriciated! ;-)
Hi! I was wondering what supplies do you need for this. Like what is the name of the wire that commands the rabbit?
All materials are in the description. I don know what you mean by wire? Robot is controlled by bbc micro:bit.
How can I make the code?
thnks :)
